HC Deb 12 February 1970 vol 795 c398W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to prevent banks from increasing ovedrafts to brewers where such increases are against the policy of Her Majesty's Government on credit restriction.

Mr. Taverne

The banks are well aware of the general priorities which they have been asked to observe in their lending and I do not consider that any more detailed instructions are called for.
